Reflections

All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible. - T.E. Lawrence

DEP vs. DJW

For those that visit frequently, you've probably noticed that I have slowly drifted away from my focus on Marcellus Shale-related activity. That will continue. I've had my fill of the misinformation being spread by folks who think they're on the right side of the fence on this issue.

However, before I'm done dealing with this matter, I'm going to address an unpublished comment I received several months ago from someone living in Bradford County who has been directly impacted by bad drilling practices.

Anyway...it's that time of the year again.

My custom-reinforced maul is still going strong 20+ years after I had it fitted with a steel sleeve to keep it from bending.

Across Time: The Words of a True American Patriot

"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."

- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

A Pennsylvania DEP person said WHAT?!?!

You've gotta love this one:

"Tarbell said various substances could easily seep into the groundwater through cracks in underground rockbeds created by the fracturing process of drilling for oil and gas, leading to the determination that Schreiner was the responsible party for the contamination."

I've been saying it all along; hydrofracturing can and will cause the contamination of our aquifers. BIG OIL and their cronies say it can't happen...viscosity or retrolinear osmotic biosis or some such quantum physics thing.

This person should be promoted for telling the truth. Wanna bet something else happens?
